Okay, It's In the Catalog was For your info, only

[John Ross]

I would say that the aluminum shields, do NOT work.
I have ran across a piano where they had been used, and the pin had 
punched through the aluminum, allowing the pin to project through. The 
hammer wobbled.
The only fix is, to repin, or tighten the screw if it is a butt plate, 
as per Yamaha.
